A grandma who produced crack cocaine at home and sold it through her kitchen window has been jailed.
Jayne Jones, 56, was busted for dealing Class A drugs after police searched her home in West Cross, Swansea, Wales.
They found 88g of cocaine, with up to 83% purity, with a street value of up to £8,800, along with 10 rocks of crack – worth another £330.
Officers also seized dealers’ lists and burner phones.
Judge Catherine Richards said everything found was just a ‘snapshot’ of the scale of the ‘established business’ the grandma had been running.
Swansea Crown Court heard Jones’ phones showed she had been involved in the supply of cocaine and crack for eight months.
Users would go straight up to Jones’ kitchen window to buy their drugs, the prosecution said.

Text messages show Jones discussing bank payment transfers and storing drugs at other people’s houses.
Jones pleaded guilty to possession of cocaine with intent to supply, possession of crack cocaine with intent to supply, being concerned in the supply of cocaine, and being concerned in the supply of crack cocaine.
Her defence lawyer explained that his client was a drug-user herself.
‘She is suffering with rheumatoid arthritis, and part of her drug-use was for pain relief purposes,’ he added.
But Judge Richards told Jones that Class A drugs ‘destroy individuals, destroy families, and destroy communities’.
Jones was jailed for three years and eight months.
